    New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development invites applications for a Tenured Associate Professor in Food Policy to begin in September 2017. The appointed faculty member will be part of the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies.

    NYU Steinhardt has one­-of-­a-­kind integration of education, communication, health, and the arts, with eleven departments, seventeen research centers and institutes, 292 full­-time faculty, and close to six thousand students. We are committed to substantially increasing the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups as we strive to create the most intellectually diverse, inclusive, and equitable institution that we can. Through research, teaching and community service, the mission of the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies is to generate and disseminate knowledge to effect sustainable change in the well­-being of local, urban, and global communities. One of the first master’s degree programs in the US devoted to food scholarship, the Department employs approaches from the humanities and social sciences, and prepares students to analyze the current American food system, its global connections, and local alternatives. Students examine cultural, political, economic, environmental, and geographic approaches to food within local, urban, and global contexts.

    POSITION DESCRIPTION

    The field of specialization for this position is open. We are seeking candidates with expertise in areas related to cultural policy-making and implementation, such as UNESCO intangible heritage, tourism, DOC appellations, WTO, TRIPS and other global trade agreements, food sovereignty and social justice. We also welcome applications from accomplished food studies scholars or researchers who specialize in other fields related to food and/or agriculture in an international setting.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Conduct research; teach and advise undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students; participate in faculty meetings, serve on committees, and provide other service to the University.

    NYU's dynamic Global Network University includes NYU Abu Dhabi, NYU Shanghai, and international programs and academic centers around the world. NYU Steinhardt faculty may have the opportunity to engage in research and teaching at these global study and research sites.

    Qualifications

    Doctorate degree in Social Sciences or the Humanities with a strong record of research and teaching. A demonstrated ability to develop a nationally recognized research program, including the ability to attract research support.

    Application Instructions  

    Candidates should apply with a cover letter showing fit with the program and position, curriculum vitae, teaching evaluations, and three references.
